This study aimed to examine whether the experience of child abuse and of witnessing spousal violence has an effect on the decision of parenthood among unmarried men and women, and to clarify the sequential mediating effect of ego-resilience and parenting self-efficacy in such a relationship. Two hundred and eighty-two unmarried men and women completed a questionnaire about child abuse, spousal violence witnessing, ego-resilience, parenting self-efficacy, and parenthood decisions. Data were analyzed to assess the sequential mediation effects between the variables using SPSS Process Macro model 6. The results are as follows. First, child abuse indirectly had an influence on parenthood decisions through the sequential mediating effects of ego-resilience and parenting self-efficacy. Second, spousal violence witnessing had a direct influence on parenthood decisions. However, when adding ego-resilience and parenting self-efficacy to the model, spousal violence witnessing had an influence on parenthood decisions through the sequential mediating effects of ego-resilience and parenting self-efficacy. These findings show the importance of relatively highly organized preliminary parental education that places, more emphasis on the development of ego-resilience and the formation of parenting self-efficacy, in order to construct positive perceptions of the parenthood decisions of unmarried men and women.
